Gonstead Family Chiropractic- Blog

How many times has your mother told you it is time for bed?! Well let it be known your mother is right again, but please do not tell mine I said this! Sleep deprivation is slowly killing you. Lets put this all in context real quick. We can live approximately 21 days without food, 3 days without water, and 3 minutes without air. We can only survive 11 days without sleep. Our bodies cleanse our brains from toxins while go through our cycles of sleep. How many of us cannot shut it down at night, too busy thinking about tasks that did not get completed, tasks to get done tomorrow, stressed beyond belief, or maybe even ADHD and just overall hyperactive. Well There is some very good news for you! We are here to help with all of those. We see patients daily with their bodies completely stressed out to the max, kids with ADHD, and everything in between. It is extremely important that we take care of bodies above (brain), down (spinal cord), inside (spinal cord), and out (nervous system). We have two key components to our nervous system, a gas and a brake, much like a car. Many of our bodies are in full throttle mode, specific safe chiropractic adjustments can help our bodies naturally apply the brake. At Gonstead Family Chiropractic we specialize in correcting issues that are not allowing your nervous system from running 100%.
